      Foobar Corporation is suing Gorilla Corporation for
      patent infringement
    </title>
    <content>
      <par>
        In surprising developments today, Foobar Corporation
        announced that it is suing Gorilla Corporation for patent
        infringement. The patents that were mentioned as part of the
        lawsuit are considered to be the basis of Foobar
        Corporation's <quote>Wireless Foo</quote> line of products.
      </par>
      <par>
        The tension between Foobar and Gorilla Corporations has
        been increasing ever since the Gorilla Corporation acquired
        more than 40 engineers who have left Foobar Corporation,
        TheAppCompany Inc. and YouNameItWeIntegrateIt.com over the
        past 3 months. The engineers who have left the Foobar
        corporation and its partners were rumored to be working on
        the next generation of server products and applications which
        will directly compete with Foobar's Foo 20.9 servers. Most of
        the engineers have relocated to Hawaii where the Gorilla
        Corporation's server development is located.
